Not my tree, but have a tree called Sturgeon others, while trying to connect families up.  I have Mary Midson, born 1761 • Fakenham Magna, SFK, England  collected from an old Mundia websie.

I would see if a Dawn has something on ancestry for contact.

I ask because the marriage took place in Knockando, and the early Knockando records were destroyed by a fire in (I think) the 1780s.

Thank you for drawing this to my attentiion, went sleuthing and found these two websites with information.

Births: Three volumes of birth records of this parish dated 1712–1767 appear to have been burnt, together with the session clerk's house in the year 1783. Entries prior to 1768 are irregular. There are six pages of irregular entries, dated 1757–1804 at the beginning of the volume. The lower portion of the second page is cut off and there are several years out of chronological order. Pages are generally attested to by the session clerk.
Marriages: There are no entries March 1794–December 1796.
Deaths: There are no records prior to 1841.

Last week I got the Death Certificate for Alexander Robertson, which says his parents were John Robertson, farmer and Grizel Roy.  It would appear from the census for Alex his age is different to his headstone and certificate. I have an approximate birth year of 1786-1785 with 2 birthplaces Forres and Burstyants INV depending which census you read.  I still havent found his birth or possible siblings.

Does any of this sound familiar to you.

Since the earlier post, I have found the marriage and birth on the free bdms. Now to look at the 1901 census and the London sources to confirm actually dates. 

I also realise now that you were not the person that made the original request, my apologies.

Did you find the details of marriage and birth of son of this Mary Elizabeth Bradnam, as I havent.  I have her in my family but dont have the marriage, would like the sources to fill in the gaps.   Kay
